This article discusses the first image of charge distribution in a single molecule, the technology used to obtain the image, and the ways in which it could impact our world. As stated in the article, with this new knowledge it will be possible to determine how charges are redistributed in many atomic structures when intermolecular and intramolecular bonds form between atoms and molecules. With atomic and molecular based technology becoming more popular as we look into the future, this type of information is necessary to make advancements. In the future, it will be interesting and exciting to see what kinds of devices will be made using the redistribution of charges in atoms and molecules. With this type of technology, there is always going to be devices made that will benefit the majority of the people, in this case, some type of medical device may be invented. Hopefully, only beneficial devices develop from this scientific advancement, and not devices that will be used to harm individuals as seen when breakthroughs in nuclear reactions came about leading to the invention of nuclear bombs and associated danger.
